Just watched Meet Joe Black for the first time.
Good film.
Film was released in 1998 which is the exact same year I graduated high school.
I wonder how death would perceive America today….

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

My heart goes out to the victims of the mass shooting at Brown University, their families, and the Brown community. Students and educators deserve the freedom to go to school with safety and without fear. We will not stop advocating for an end to gun violence.

Tech fatigue doesn’t mean educators oppose technology. It reflects how often new digital tools are introduced without enough support. A 2025 @rand.org survey found more than half of teachers feel burned out. When used thoughtfully, technology and AI can support learning and ease workloads.

Over 10% of our education support professionals rely on Medicaid or ACA marketplace plans for their families’ health and stability.
Thanks to Congress, those plans are about to get much more expensive.

Voters continually reject vouchers, yet she ignores the will of the people, decimates public schools & moves us towards dangerous voucher schemes.
